PNG Sees Tourism Growth in 2007

(February 26, 2008 - DTN) -- Papua New Guinea (PNG) has surpassed the 100,000 mark in inbound visitors, recording more than 102,000 international visitor arrivals in 2007, a 32 percent increase. The PNG government made $15 million available to implement a 10-year National Tourism Master Plan and establish a national task force on tourism. The plan replaced the PNG Tourism Promotion Authority with an industry dominated body, “Tourism PNG,” comprised of key industry bodies including hotels, airlines, tour operators and niche associations. The overall goal is to double the number of tourists on holiday in PNG every five years. Visit: pngtourism.org.
